Election commission asks city to review commission stipends
Summary
The Taunton City Election Commission voted to request that the city council include election commission stipends in an upcoming citywide stipend review.
The Taunton City Election Commission voted to request that the city council review stipends for commissions as part of a broader stipend study.
Commissioner Jason (first name used in discussion) raised the issue after the city announced an upcoming review of stipends for boards and commissions; commissioners said the council indicated the review would occur in April. The commission approved a motion to ask the council to include election commission stipends in that review so stipends can be evaluated alongside those of other commissions.
The motion passed by voice vote; meeting minutes show no roll-call tally in the transcript. Commissioners did not specify a desired stipend amount in the meeting and asked staff to forward any necessary city-clerk materials and deadlines related to ethics disclosures or stipend requests.
